It was just before 5 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh night, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Brian and I were relaxing there talking about the recent footy rankings, ready for the 8th call for the day to arrive. Finally we received a phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol garage in The Sands and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Honda rental car in error. She was somewhat agitated it seemed, stating "I can not believe that I have ruined the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I completely didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to be concerned, also that these things regrettably happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a safe area and, because it was no more than a few miles off from our van, we could find the customer without delay. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she was able to get back to the hotel she was living at.

Services We Give:

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Surrey we have noticed progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly due to people not being aware of how to to make use of (note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to one another on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it right away. And obviously never switch on the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking bay. Assuming you have started the car you may in all probability have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually an important condition to deal with in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel may well bring about idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both cases quite quickly.

Keep in mind that whenever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will probably be wholly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to an automobile parking bay we are able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel container laying at the rear of your premises containing unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial properties in Surrey to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps several containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we can reach it, we could certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in The Sands (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a full Surrey Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to re-fill the car in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill up your car. They will deal with any of the standard issues that could come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
